|
|
Kmail recently stopped sending smtp based emails. Receiving pop3 works fine.
When I try and send, I get the following message (and a desktop notification) in the systemd log:
Code: | Dec 21 12:20:22 generichostname plasmashell[2640]: New Notification: "E-Mail Sending Failed" "Failed to transport message. Server error" -1 & Part of: 0
|
I've tried rebuilding the kmail and kmailtransport packages to no avail. I've checked with Wireshark and the client is definitely making a successful TLS connection with the server. In the configuration, autodetect correctly identifies the settings.
Anyone have any ideas about what to try next? |

Skinjob2707,
You can talk to mail servers with telnet.
Where does it break? _________________ Regards,

I did see that issue, but was led astray by the versioning numbers. When I look at help-> about there was no version number and the kmail package is listed as 17.12.0. When I switch to TLS (from SSL that was autodetected), I get an error message that says:
Code: | New Notification: "E-Mail Sending Failed" "Failed to transport message. 6" -1 & Part of: 0
|
Presumably this is the result of the server not supporting TLS.
I will follow the bug in the KDE tracker.
Thanks for the help! |

FWIW, I got this "server error" message and found that kmail had
reset the smtp port to the wrong number
easy fix in my case _________________ .... there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth

After updating to KMail 17.12.3 breaks sending email with SSL encryption. Unencrypted sending works. |
